An eschatological, non-denominational ministry

Blog note:
And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines, and
pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from
heaven. (Luke 21:11). Jesus is giving a series of prophecies about what to look
for as the age of grace comes to a close. This verse from Luke is one of many
such prophecies from throughout the Bible. 2017 was the worst year in recorded
history for the intensity, frequency, severity, duration and occurrence of a
large number of severe natural disasters worldwide. Earthquakes, volcanoes,
hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, torrential flooding, unprecedented wildfires in
unusual places, devastating droughts, excessive/scorching heat setting records
everywhere, record snowfalls in Europe and Russia. Snow in the Arabia. This
list can go on. Most studied eschatologists believe these ‘fearful sights’ and
massive natural disasters are all part of the ‘CONVERGENCE’ of signs that this
Biblical and prophetic age is closing. Most people who study prophecy are
familiar with the routine reference(s) made that these things will be
like a woman having labor pains that occur in greater
severity, frequency, size and duration prior to giving birth. End of note.

Tropical Cyclone
“Gaja” made in Tamil Nadu, India, between Nagapattinam and
Vedarannyam, on November 15, 2018, with maximum sustained winds up to 139 km/h
(83 mph). This made it a Category 1 hurricane equivalent on the Saffir-Simpson
hurricane wind scale.

The storm
brought heavy rain and strong winds to Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and areas of
South Interior Karnataka and Kerala. According to latest reports, at least 28
people were killed in floods, landslides and other weather-related incidents.
The
death toll is expected to rise.

As many as
81,948 people were forced to evacuate and are now temporarily housed
in 471 relief centers. The heavy rains have largely affected Munnar, one of the
main tourist destinations in Idukki, and traffic was partially disrupted on a
part of its Kochi-Dhanushkodi national highway. Landslides were reported in
Mammal and Edamal areas in Vattavada near Munnar as well as in various
parts of Idukki . A home in Vattavda was partially destroyed due to the
landslides. The landslides and heavy rain also submerged acres of winter
vegetable farms in Vattavada.

A car was
trapped in a mud puddle in Panniyarkutty near Adimali due to a landslide. The
passengers narrowly escaped. A mudslide was reported near Mattuppetty road in
Munnar and the traffic disrupted in the top station route. Incidentally, the
recently rebuilt Periyavara Bridge was also washed out due to heavy rain on
Friday. The bridge, which is on the Munnar-Udumalpet
interstate route, connects tourists to Rajamala tourist destination and the
Eravikulam National Park.

No fisherman
was stranded at sea in the wake of cyclone Gaja as the fisheries ministry had
taken necessary measures on a war footing to ensure the safety of fisher folks
and protect their boats and equipment, Tamil Nadu minister D Jayakumar said on
Friday. According to the state power utility, about 500 km (310 miles) of power
supply lines were affected. Officials said it would take at least two days to
restore power supply in Tamil Nadu’s Nagapattinam and Thiruvarur
districts.

Authorities
closed schools and colleges and thousands of emergency workers were on standby
along with two naval ships with divers, helicopters and inflatable boats, NDTV
reports. Gaja is the second major storm to hit India’s east coast in recent
weeks, after Cyclone “Titli” hit Odisha in October, killing at least
two people. Storms regularly hit southern India between April and
December. Last year, Cyclone “Ockhi” left nearly 250 people dead in
Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

As of 15:00
UTC on November 16, Gaja was located approximately 28 km (17.4 miles) SSE of
Cochin and was expected to soon exit into
the Arabian Sea and continue tracking westward under the high-zonal
subtropical ridge to the north across the Arabian Sea. The system will
gradually weaken, mostly due to the combination of diminishing upper level
outflow and the influx of cold dry air from the North offsetting the low
vertical wind shear and warm along-track sea surface temperatures.
